As I did not want to fiddle with the installation of gradle I decided that instead of running pytest and expecting it to find all the tests file, for the initial Pull-Request I'll list the test files I'd like to be checked. Not ideal, but I think it is better to go in small steps than to be stuck in-front of a big step. So the command I used was

pytest -vs tests/test_iter.py tests/test_random.py

The ideal way to find out the dependencies was creating a separate virtual envioronment locally and trying to run the tests locally. I was lazy and did not do that so I had to add them one-by-one as GitHub Actions reported failures. Luckily there were only 2 missing dependencies besides pytest.

I ended up adding a requirements.txt file with the following lines in it:

httpx
requests

And adding the following file as .github/workflows/ci.yml

examples/once-utils-ci.yml

name: Python

  push:
  pull_request:

    name: OS ${{matrix.runner}} Python ${{matrix.python-version}}

    steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
      with:
        python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: |
        pip install pytest
        pip install -r requirements.txt

    - name: Check Python version
      run: python -V

    - name: Test with pytest
      env:
        PYTHONPATH: .
      run: pytest -vs tests/test_iter.py tests/test_random.py

I also had to disable testing on Windows as that was failing and I also removed the testing on Python 3.11.0 RC 2, though that turned out to be a misunderstanding on my behalf so I added it back.
